Super Psychic Policeman Chojo

Episode 1 is a fun, chaotic introduction that wastes almost no time establishing its core dynamic. Rookie officer Nao Ippongi—a serious, physically capable judo powerhouse—arrives at the rundown West Chinjuku police station and is immediately paired with Meguru Chojo, a psychic with mind-reading, telekinesis, and assorted ridiculous abilities. The catch is that Chojo is incredibly lazy, self-absorbed, and prefers using his powers for petty convenience and napping rather than actual police work. Nao quickly realizes she’s drawn the short straw. Nao works immediately as a grounded, motivated foil. She’s earnest about the job, strong enough to throw people around when needed, and has just enough personal history (her transfer wasn’t entirely ordinary, and her family’s dojo becomes relevant) to feel like more than a pure straight-woman. Chojo, though, is the clear star of the episode. He’s an absolute bastard in the most entertaining way—capable of reading Nao’s every thought while remaining completely opaque himself. The comedy thrives on that imbalance. He has god-tier psychic powers yet shows almost no interest in using them like a competent detective, which keeps him from feeling like just another overpowered lead. The episode eventually gives the pair an actual situation when people connected to Nao’s grandfather’s dojo cause trouble. This section is welcome because it forces the two to work together and shows that Chojo isn’t completely useless when something personal is on the line. A quiet flashback beat involving an earlier dojo incident also adds a small but effective layer to their relationship. Pacing is one of the stronger elements. The episode delivers a complete introduction: Nao’s arrival, Chojo’s personality and abilities, their dysfunctional partnership, a string of comedic encounters, and a modest conflict, all without feeling like pure setup. It moves quickly—sometimes almost too quickly—but rarely drags. Visually, the episode is well-suited to its tone. Animation isn’t spectacular, but the exaggerated facial expressions, cartoony energy, and playful psychic effects sell the comedy. The show understands that the absurdity of Chojo’s powers is part of the joke and doesn’t try to make them look overly serious. Comedy is more mixed. When the gags land—especially the mind-reading imbalance and Chojo’s pure apathy—they land hard. Other jokes feel like the series is simply trying to be weird for its own sake. Supporting characters barely register yet, so the episode lives or dies on the central duo. Fortunately, that duo carries it. Episode 1 doesn’t reinvent anything, and it doesn’t need to. It’s a goofy supernatural buddy-cop comedy built around a motivated rookie stuck with an unbelievably annoying psychic senior. The basic formula already works. Nao gives the show someone grounded to react to the chaos, while Chojo supplies most of the disorder. The biggest open question is whether their chemistry stays this sharp once the novelty fades, but based on this premiere, the signs are good. A messy, energetic, and surprisingly charming first episode that knows exactly what kind of show it wants to be.

Ini adalah standar komedi Shonen Jump. Tingkah karakter utamanya juga mirip dengan tokoh utama manga komedi samurai. Aku juga suka dengan dinamika antara kedua karakter utamanya. Selain itu aku juga menyukai style visualnya, sangat colorful. Overall, memang tidak sempurna, tetapi masih merupakan episode pembuka yang bagus.
